POST-ELECTION: POLICE, DSS WARN AGAINST VIOLENCE, URGE POLITICIANS TO EXPLORE APPROPRIATE CHANNELS FOR REDRESS.
The Inspector General of Police has lent his voice to the warning by the Department of State Services, DSS, against plans by aggrieved politicians to instigate a breakdown of law and order, in response to the outcome of the elections.
Usman Alkali says any appropriate law enforcement actions would be taken against anyone instigating violence.
A meeting convened by the Inspector General of Police to take a look at the operations of the police during the just concluded elections.
Among those present are Commissioners of Police who took charge of security during the polls.
The Police Chief is mindful of the political fall-out.
But wants aggrieved persons to abide by the law in seeking redress.
Earlier, the Department of State Services issued a warning against any attempt to incite violence and subvert the democratic process.
In the statement, the Spokesman for the Sevice said
“the Service will continue to take necessary measures to checkmate these elements who do not wish the country well.”
In a related action, the DSS said its agents in a joint operation with other security agents arrested a retired Army Officer- Col AU Suleiman.
The DSS alleges that the retired Colonel is part of a 6 man gang of criminals in Kogi State.
But a group has dismissed the claims against the retired Colonel Suleiman, describing him as a revered politician.
The onus of proof is now on the DSS.
